## Summary

Shropshire Council is initiating a procurement process titled "EMCV 001 - Planning Services Software" within the planning stage. This preliminary market engagement seeks to procure a software system to support various local authority functions, including Planning Applications and Building Control, located in the UKG22 region of the United Kingdom. The process is currently in the planning stage, with a preliminary engagement activity deadline set for 10 July 2026. Interested parties are invited to participate by submitting a preliminary market engagement questionnaire to help the Council refine their requirements, with the actual contract expected to start in April 2027.

This tender represents a strategic business growth opportunity for firms specialising in software solutions, particularly those focused on industry-specific software packages and information systems. Companies with expertise in public sector software development or familiar with supporting local authority operations are ideally suited to engage in this market engagement phase. The potential contract value of £400,000 underscores the significant opportunity available for the successful bidder, ultimately influencing local authority software support over a multi-year period, providing growth opportunities, and establishing a strong foothold in government procurement.
